For the last 25 years Curworthy Cheese has been made at Stockbeare Farm situated in the mid Devon countryside under the shadow of Dartmoor. A perfect area for grass growing with its unique climate of rain and humidity.

The milk is sourced from local dairy farmers in the area - delivered overnight and pasteurised the next morning to make this award winning cheese. Curworthy is a full fat hard cheese with a creamy light buttery taste when young and developing into a full flavoured mellowness when aged. The curd after pressing overnight in traditional presses is then matured in special temperature controlled ripening rooms. No colouring or preservatives whatsoever are added - except salt which enhances the flavour and lengthens the cheese's life.

There is a range of sizes - small truckles, mild and creamy culminating in the 4.5kg Devon Oke our most popular cheese.

Curworthy Cheese is available from all good specialist cheese shops and delicatessens. It is also available from country and agricultural shows and fairs in the South West along with local Farmers Markets. You can also buy online via this website.
